About this Xam Nua map poster
Xam Nua, also written Sam Neua, is the capital of Houaphan province in northeastern Laos. It lies in a narrow valley, and on a map the town follows the course of the Nam Xam river, which runs through the centre. Streets and neighbourhoods extend along both banks, while steep ridges on either side keep the settled area long and narrow.
The province played a central role in modern Lao history. Nearby, in the limestone caves of Vieng Xai, the leadership of the Pathet Lao sheltered during years of bombing, and the caves are now visited as a historic site. Xam Nua itself is a common starting point for those visits.
A Xam Nua map poster reflects this setting with unusual clarity. The river line, the bridges crossing it and the streets squeezed between hills make the shape of the town easy to read. Mountain roads twist away from the valley, adding irregular curves at the edges of the frame.

River crossings
Bridges link the two sides of the valley at intervals. They appear as short, clear strokes across the flowing line of water.
Mountain roads
Roads leave the valley in winding curves toward other towns in Houaphan and the caves at Vieng Xai. They contrast with the straighter streets below.
